…90% of your TiVo entries are taken up by children’s shows.

For exmple:
==========
The Wiggles
Bear in the Big Blue House
Zoboomafoo
Oobi
Oobi
Maisy
The Wiggles
Sesame Street
Bear in the Big Blue House

And then, finally, a show not for Thing One. It’s not just that there’s a lot of her shows constantly being recorded (there are), but that — and this has happend plenty of times before — as soon as we delete a show, that’s the exact episode she wants to watch. So instead of doing the compassionate thing for our TiVo and deleting shows after she watches them, we just keep the list full of her shows, just in case she wants to watch the Maisy episode with the train or the Wiggles with Captain Feathersword doing brain surgery. Because of this, the drive on the TiVo is constantly full or close to it. The average lifespan now of shows not marked “Save until I delete” is about two days.
